August 17, 2012: The Case for the Matching Panty

Bonjour, Coquettes! This week, we’re inspired by a fitting room confession: many women simply can’t bear to buy a bra without the bottom to match. Some will even insist on two bottoms per bra, since panties tend to wear faster than their cup-sized counterparts. As lovers of what lies beneath, we wholeheartedly accept this rule. Here, some of the compelling arguments in the case for the matching panty:

THE RENEGADE TAXI SCENARIO

We hear about it all the time: the horror of a crosswalk run-in with a reckless cab on the very day you thought you could get away with your last-pair-in-the-drawer granny knickers. What will the handsome, chivalrous paramedic think of such an unfortunate choice of underpinning?

Careful, Coquette! However, if misfortune does befall you in the crosswalk, we bet our money that help will be on the way faster than you can say “matching black lace tanga.”

THE SPONTANEOUS TRYST

In the busy life of the modern vixen, who can afford to risk passing up a sexy rendezvous on account of not having dressed the part?

The man may say he was too busy to notice, but trust us, he noticed.

THE SUBWAY GRATE MISHAP

This is a classic bind, one we’ve all experienced on a crowded city sidewalk where sometimes the only option is over the grate. Rumor has it that Joe DiMaggio was unhappy about the attention his then-wife Marilyn received for this legendary photo op; imagine his disappointment if she hadn’t been ready with a cute coordinating bottom!

Speaking of unpredictable gusts, the pin-ups illustrate other scenarios where the matching bottom is critical:

Fall is quickly approaching, Coquettes, and with it come the mischeivous winds of change!

Labor day is just around the corner; a lady can never be sure just when a busy travel schedule or that last-hurrah barbecue will put her in a vulnerable spot!

And finally, perhaps the most important occasion of all to be well dressed underneath:

THE THRILL OF KEEPING YOUR OWN SEXY LITTLE SECRET

... the knockout set, only to be revealed at the right time to a deserving (and preferably unsuspecting) audience.
